Baking should be fun no matter what allergies you may have, and each of the websites below ensures you’ll have fun and great tasting foods, even if you are allergic to milk or gluten or are vegan! Be sure to substitute Solo’s gluten-free fillings for added ease in any of the recipes you find below.

“When I was developing gluten-free recipes for my dessert cookbook, I discovered SOLO’s Almond Paste in the local supermarket. Since then I’ve kept my pantry stocked with a half dozen cans, as I find myself reaching for it all the time, especially when making not only gluten-free but grain-free desserts”

A great resource for vegans, Post Punk Kitchen was started by Isa Chandra Moskowitz in 2003 to make cooking fun for vegans. Her blog posts explaining the site’s great recipes are long (in a good way) and extremely in-depth. She has also written seven books since the site launched, including Vegan Pie in the Sky.

Another fantastic resource for vegans, veganbaking.net has pretty much everything you need to help you be vegan. There are recipes, how-to articles, active user forums, book reviews, baking resources for substitutes and conversions and even a vegan baker directory to help you find a vegan bakery near you!

One of the Best Food Allergy Mom Blogs of 2011, The Spunky Coconut features a ton of great-tasting recipes and fantastic pictures to go along with them. With health at the forefront of everything on the site, founder Kelly V. Brozyna’s gluten-free, casein-free and sugar-free recipes are sure to make your body feel good. Be sure to check out her latest book The Spunky Coconut Cookbook.
